BBQ Rub Recipe with Turmeric, Cardomom and Cloves

Here's a strange rub, slightly adapted from one in the Diners Drive-ins and Dives episode about Kansas City Barbecue. 

The use of turmeric, ground cardamom and cloves sets it apart from any rub I've seen before. I've made a small batch to test out on some ribs the next time I smoke them. 

Ingredients

• 2 parts garlic salt
• 1 part turmeric
• 1 part ground cardamom seed
• 1 part ground cloves
• 1 part cayenne pepper
• 1 part lemon pepper

Method

• Combine all ingredients and store in a jar/shaker for use as a barbecue rub.
